Burton cut it open to find a layer of spray Styrofoam. "We break into it, I look and say, 'This isn't what I think it is,'" Burton told Sacramento's KXTV.

It was indeed what he thought it was; 11 pounds of marijuana.

He turned the pot over to police, who believe he was randomly chosen to receive the package. But Burton and his fiancée decided to temporarily leave their home out of fear the intended recipient may resort to violence after finding out the pot, worth about $24,000, is now gone.

"I'm really concerned someone is going to come looking for this," Burton said. "People have gotten hurt for a lot less than $24,000 worth of marijuana."
